Funny how I’ve constantly been seeing articles like this for the past few years saying how the economy is doing so great and inflation isn’t a problem whatsoever and yet my experience and the experience of everyone that I talk to seems to be the complete opposite. Literally everyone complains about how everything is significantly more expensive. And shrinkflation has gotten notably worse too which probably makes it easier to fudge these numbers and make it look like the economy is doing great. Of course I wouldn’t even call it inflation so much as greed since corporations have been posting record profits since the pandemic.
